Study Reveals Potential Personality Changes After Organ Transplants

University of Colorado research suggests nearly 90% of transplant recipients experience shifts in temperament, preferences, and beliefs.

  • The study involved 47 participants, including heart and other organ recipients.
  • 89% of respondents reported at least four personality changes post-surgery.
  • Changes affected temperament, emotions, food preferences, and spiritual beliefs.
  • The 'systemic memory hypothesis' proposes that donor cells may influence recipient personalities.
  • Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms behind these changes.
